How are Von Schweikert speakers?

Vr4 gen IIIs go all the way down to 20hz and are somewhat larger than the 3.5s.The LCR 35 is probably one of the best centers around.THe entire new linup has had nothing but rave reviews.

Where are the reviews? Thanks.

I've spoken with Albert (Von Schweikert), and have listened to the speakers. They rank among the best. They are not as mainstream as B&W, Revel, and other, but him speakers are virtually hand-built, and they are wonderful

Von Schweikert speakers are notorious for having many generation updates year after year, (until each model is discontinued or completely revised). This has me wondering if each model is a "work in progress" , for the consumer to buy, as the development has yet to be finished into a refined product. Everyone I have known who has bought Vons has eventually replaced them with other, more established brands (Dunlavy, Aerial and Proac in each my freinds cases). If you decide to buy them, make sure that you check the used market first. Last year, when one of my buddiesy tried to sell his Vr4's, he was competing against 14 others that were also for sale! (He ended up getting a fraction of what he wanted) One thing is for sure, Von Schweikert speakers do not hold their value.

As for the last post that could not be further from the truth.The fact is VSA speakers hold their value and as for continuing upgrades that is just a crock.The VR3,VR4,VR4 genIIs,VR6,VR8 were never changed in their run. When VSA went under a # years ago their were no speakers built.If you were in the market for any of his speakers you paid roghly half the cost of retail for seakers 4 years old.In the electronic world that is a pretty good return on your money.

As for his new line up,go to www.vonschwiekert.com and you can read the reviews from various trade magazines.He won best sound in show at CES in 2000.He is the chief designer for Eggleston and has won many awards for his designs.Personally, I would take a VR7 or VR5 over any Dunlavy.
